Hullo everyone,

Here is an article about actual feminist emoji:

"Compared to larger global women's issues, emojis may seem insignificant, but these tiny characters have become the primary language young girls use to express themselves in text messages or on social media" […] That's why they created "femojis," a category of powerhouse feminist women emojis including Beyonce, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Taylor Swift, Oprah Winfrey, Mindy Kaling, Lena Dunham and Ellen DeGeneres.

However, what I'm really interested in is what I imagine to be the hidden meanings in the emoji set itself.

This emoji tells us that it is okay to ask for help and that whatever we are doing will be better with a friend or, if you have one, identical twin.

This emoji is a reminder to try hard and never to be embarrassed to do our best work or to show our best work.

If you are ever worried that you are not the best, do not worry, you are the best. PS this one is called the “princess emoji”. Travesty. She is a queen.

This emoji reminds us that we do not have to take ourselves too seriously. It is a breaded prawn.

Enjoy the bank holiday weekend, if you have one.

Alex.
